Thanks Dean!!! I am not much of an organist. I did practice hard to try and get plausible for amateur listeners. The organ was for the Archie Bray Foundations 50th Anniversary celebration. I am doing one(a different perfromance, no organ, no flames) this year for their 60th. June 25 Helena Montana. Be there or miss it.

The constant erosion of video and audio quality is really depressing me: can we get a GOOD video where people aren't TALKING right next to the camera?

[RoadEasyGentleman]

No. Unless of course you build one or hire me. Since I have sold the organ it would be quite expensive. The organ was built for live performances. The video is, was and will be, a secondary item.

I like it. It kind of plays like a Baroque version of a laser light show.

[RoadEasyGentleman]

Thanks, It was a lot of fun.

some people are complaining about the clicks, but i like them! it gives it some real nice rhythm, and the fire really helps visualize the mechanics of pipe organs. it is very easy to forget that each note is the result of a lot of painstaking work by the people who build organs and the people who tune them. great job, i can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[RoadEasyGentleman]

Dear Digirushhdude,

Thanks. Those are the gas solenoids. They are just another stop on the organ. I am having a show north of Houston (Texas USA) at U Houston Clearlake in the early spring if you live down this way.

FLOPGA NO UNDERSTAND DEMON MAGIC. HURRY AND DESTROY!

@jericsynergy It's because people are rude and can't STFU when they attend a music performance. I've been to but one large concert where people were there to see the band play, and not to be seen.

Should be a catholic priest over the flames his ass being barbecued.

One of the wildest, wackiest things I've ever seen in organdom. As an organist, I've always known that a lot of us are full of hot air, but...well...words fail me (and that doesn't happen often!).

[DonaldFranklin67]

Wow! What an organist! He sure can play Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor mighty HOT!

[SuperGaryOak]

I wish it was in my old school church, so it burned it down...

[godgunsncountry]

If only he had played it in a devil costume.
